Can I have temp tables in a Command Object?

I have some very complex SQL that I am try to build into a report using a Command object.  I am trying to use Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.1 SP01 Patch 6 against a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 database.  I have my query working in SQL Server Management Studio, but I am getting error in CR4E.

I have written two simplified queries to troubleshoot this.  This one uses a table variable ("@Affinities")...

DECLARE @Affinities TABLE

(

    AffinityID SMALLINT,

    AffinityName VARCHAR(50),

    AffinityNum VARCHAR(3)

)

 

INSERT INTO @Affinities   

        ( AffinityID ,

          AffinityName ,

          AffinityNum

        )

 

(SELECT AffinityID, AffinityName, AffinityNum

FROM dbo.luAffinity)

 

SELECT *

FROM @Affinities

I get this error...

When I try using a local temporary table like this...

SELECT AffinityID, AffinityName, AffinityNum

INTO #Affinities

FROM dbo.luAffinity

 

SELECT * FROM #Affinities

 

DROP TABLE #Affinities

I get this error...

Both of these queries work in Crystal Reports 2013.  Is there a way to get this to work in CR4E?  I know that I can wrap my SQL in a stored procedure, but this would be easier.

Any ideas?
